All-Girl Foosball Table

Wrote Michael Hsu in today's Wall Street Journal, "Table soccer may be a frat-house staple, but this sleek, steel version puts a Title IX spin on the game. In response to popular demand (mainly from American girls), the manufacturer RS Barcelona added female players to the rosters of its high-end table and named it Ella."

"It's made to order (the players are painted by hand), you can put the dream teams of your choice head to head (Germany vs. Nigeria World Cup rematch!) and pit women against men or create mixed teams. If owning a pink foosball table comes off as too Barbie, you can also get Ella in less gender-specific shades: white, black, red, gray and an outdoor-friendly raw steel."
